I honestly do not know where to start. We hired Marissa and her wonderful team about nine months out from our September 2024 wedding at the Fairmont Copley. She immediately got the ball rolling with connecting me with the rest of the (amazing) vendors I needed to book and introducing me to Aisle Planner-which I have to say is a godsend resource for all brides and planners. She kept me on track with payments, with responding to emails and routinely checked in with me to see how things were going. She was always just a text away. She coordinated with all of my vendors and produced a beautiful timeline for our big day. She stuck up for me and helped me find answers/alternative solutions if anything was unclear or needed to be addressed. Marissa is a true professional and missed literally nothing when it came to my large and complex wedding (250 guests). I cannot imagine what the day would have been like without her and her phenomenal team. I interviewed with about 10 different planners over three weeks before I went with my gut with MB Events and I am so glad we did. This is definitely someone you can trust with one of the most special days you'll ever have! I could not recommend Marissa and her team enough if you are planning a wedding in New England.

Words cannot describe how happy my husband and I are with MB Events. We had our wedding on July 6th at my families farm and Jamie and Caroline did an outstanding job. They did my aunt and uncles a few months prior and we knew we had to have them again. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and will always recommend MB Events to anyone who asks.
Sarah & Steven
I cannot recommend Marissa and the MB Events team highly enough! We opted for partial planning and started working with Marissa a little less than a year before our wedding. She helped us with so much - from helping us find vendors to creating mood boards that illustrated the vision for our fall wedding to finetuning every detail of our timeline.
Our wedding was perfect and most importantly, we didn't have to worry about any of the details because Marissa, Doug, and the MB Events team had everything covered. We are so grateful to have worked with them. Thank you again Marissa and team!

Working with Marissa and her team at MB Events, was by far the best decision my husband and I could have made during our wedding planning process. Marissa truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and her passion for her work is apparent from start to finish.
My husband and I chose a venue where every aspect of our wedding needed to be coordinated with third-party vendors (string quartet, DJ, catering (incl. table, chairs, linens), set up, breakdown, etc). When we realized how much we underestimated the time and coordination needed to plan such an important event, we knew we needed help. Enter: MB Events. From the start, Marissa kept my husband and I organized throughout the entire wedding planning process, ensuring our vision for the day came to fruition, and truly made our wedding day better than we had ever expected.
We planned an outdoor wedding, and inevitably it was supposed to pour (thunder, lightning, flood, tornado warnings), and Marissa and her team worked from sunup to sundown to ensure that our day was exactly as we had imagined, rain or shine. Marissa was an advocate for my husband and I when difficult day-of -decisions needed to be made in relation to the rain, which allowed us to just “focus and take in the moment” which we are extremely grateful for. With some last minute timeline adjustments by Marissa, we were able to have the outdoor ceremony of our dreams. This would not have happened without the expertise and dedication of Marissa and her team.
Multiple times throughout the wedding planning process I told my husband that Marissa seems to be the only vendor we chose that is actually “on our side.” We struggled with the organization and responses of other vendors, especially as the wedding season was in full swing, but Marissa never missed a moment. She was professional, quick to respond, and extremely reliable. I know that there are many options when choosing a wedding planner, but I can honestly say, I believe Marissa and her team to be the best there is. Personally, the only downside I’ve found about working with Marissa has been the end of it all… because it feels kind of like I don’t have my best friend around anymore!

Marissa and her team at MB events truly made our wedding day everything we could have hoped for and more. Our venue did not include any services and it was a very DIY situation. However, the MB Events team helped my husband and I stay organized with all our vendor outreach, a VERY detailed timeline, and as needed support along the way. The team was tremendously responsive in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. On the day of, we weren’t worried about anything but each other and the fun we were having. The MB Events team helped all of our guests seamlessly, they made sure to inform us of the timeline throughout the day, and truly saw to any and all of our needs. Marissa and her team kept all communication with vendors before and during the event smooth and organized and they thought of things I never would have. I was able to bounce all of my ideas off of them knowing I would receive supportive yet honest responses about how logistically those ideas might work or look. I could not have done all of the planning without this coordination team. We felt so cared for and enjoyed our day so incredibly much thanks to them.

Marissa & the MB Event team truly made our wedding weekend complete. From the moment we started working together Marissa & team were so organized & helped manage all of our vendors & develop a comprehensive timeline for the weekend. MBE was always checking in, making sure we were on track & we’re always available if I needed to reach them. They organized a month prior a walkthrough of the ceremony & reception space & I am so happy they did. There were a lot of components I didn’t account for but they helped point them out & provide suggestions & solutions for them. Planning a wedding is so much work but MBE helped ease so much stress! The day of the wedding I was amazed with how well they kept everything running smoothly, from dealing with the rainy weather & changing photo plans last minute, to managing our larger bridal party, I truly could have not asked for a better team to make the night complete. I am very thankful we had them apart of our wedding weekend!!
Chris & Brittany
I truly could not have gotten through my wedding day without the caring, meticulous, and professional help of Marissa and Doug. We had a backyard wedding and halfway through the planning process we decided it was best to hire a day of coordinator. But MB events is so much more than that. We stayed in contact for months leading up to the big day, she was always responsive whether it was a phone call, zoom, email, or text. She put together a detailed timeline and stayed in contact with all my vendors so assure everyone was on the same page. Most importantly my day ran so smoothly and if anything went awry I had no idea. She truly made my husband and I feel so special.
Kyle & Vanessa
Marissa, No amount of words could justly or completely explain the gratitude Vanessa and I have for you. At times it felt like the world was collapsing while planning this wedding but you were always there with a smile and some sort of magic to make all our dreams come true for our big day. Every single one of our wants and needs you addressed and insured we would have. You and you team were not just a helping hand getting us both to and through our day but truthfully became family to Vanessa and I. Both our families were blown away by your attention to detail, professionalism and kindness. Thank you so incredibly much for everything, we love ya!
(P.S Anyone reading this looking for an event coordinator, you’re out of your mind if you don’t hire Marissa)
Zander & Rachel
I cannot recommend Marissa & her team enough. Marissa, Emily & Doug exceeded our expectations. They were organized, fun to work with & so efficient. Our wedding would not have come together like it did without the MB Events team!! Marissa was so organized from our intro call through the whole planning process. She helped me stay on track and coordinated with our vendors. Highly, highly recommend this team for your wedding :)
Thomas & Rachita
Marissa, Jamie and Doug were amazing!! Marissa helped with planning and finalizing a timeline over several months! And then the wedding was multiple days and multiple ceremonies and the team helped coordinate decor, bringing clothing and decorations from one place to another, and overall problem solving lots of last minute issues. They were like family and so easy to work with. It was reassuring having MB events with us throughout the week!
